Looks like the photographer didn't know what the lever of a Winchester should look like. While the top of the photo was focussed well, the bottom was heavily retouched (a very common technique at the time) to look better. Note the retouching around his footwear and lower pant legs. Focal range limitations and 'washing out' of parts of the image was par for the course with early photography--a good photographer was a pretty fair artist, as well.

by your eye, does that knife sheath look to be quilled?  And how about that tie down strap, |

Any idea how long that rifle is supposed to be? Trying to calculate his height. Btw, think the rifle may have been a prop from photographer. Looks like the photographer didn't know what the lever of a Winchester should look like. |
